V2 Framework — How the Report is Structured

Every bet candidate — regardless of market — passes through the same six-check evaluation engine before appearing in the report. The engine produces a letter grade (A–F) and a recommendation tier. The top of the report shows your actionable plays; the full sweep table below it shows every candidate evaluated that day so you can audit the model's reasoning.

Contradiction Flags ⚡

When two recommended plays on the same game send opposing run-environment signals, a ⚡ contradiction flag is added to both plays. The bet is not removed — it is flagged so you can decide consciously whether the conflict makes sense.

How the Model Works — The Simple Version

The model is asking one question: does DraftKings have the wrong price on this game?

It independently calculates how likely each team is to win by grading two things: how good is today's starting pitcher (xFIP vs league average) and how good is the opposing lineup (wRC+ vs league average). It adds a small home-field bonus, blends in the pitcher's last 5 starts (35% weight), then converts the result to a win probability. That probability is compared to what DraftKings implies. If the gap is ≥15%, it surfaces as a bet.

The model caps at ~68–70% win probability even in extreme mismatches — baseball is unpredictable and overconfident models lose money. Missing data automatically reduces confidence and bet sizing.

How the Model Works — Win Probability (Technical)

For every game the model builds a score differential from three inputs, then converts it to a win probability using a logistic (S-curve) function. Here is each step:

StepWhat it calculatesData sourceWeight
1. Pitching edge How much better or worse each SP is vs. the league-average xFIP of 4.20.
home_pitch = (4.20 − home_xFIP) / 4.20
pitch_edge = home_pitch − away_pitch
A positive number means the home SP is above average relative to the away SP.
FanGraphs xFIP (direct API call) — the best early-season ERA predictor because it removes defense and luck 50%
2. Offense edge How much stronger or weaker each lineup is vs. the league-average wRC+ of 100.
home_bat = (home_wRC+ − 100) / 100
off_edge = home_bat − away_bat
A team with wRC+ 110 contributes +0.10; one at 90 contributes −0.10.
MLB Stats API team batting — OPS converted to wRC+ via (OPS / 0.720) × 100 35%
3. Home field Fixed constant added to the home team's side every game. Historical MLB average home-field effect +4%
4. Score diff score_diff = 0.50 × pitch_edge + 0.35 × off_edge + 0.04 Combined signal driving the probability below
5. Win probability home_win_prob = logistic(1.5 × score_diff)
The logistic scale of 1.5 keeps the model from being overconfident — even an extreme mismatch caps out around 68–70%.
Standard logistic sigmoid: 1 / (1 + e−x)

Recent Form Blending

Season stats are stable but slow to react. Recent form can signal a pitcher heating up or falling apart. The model blends both:

SourceWeightStats blended
Season-to-date (FanGraphs)65%xFIP, ERA, WHIP, K%, K/9
Last 5 starts (MLB Stats API game logs)35%ERA, WHIP, K%, K/9 — computed from raw game log totals

xFIP is season-only (requires full-season HR data to normalize). ERA trend from recent starts adjusts the blended ERA implicitly.

How the Model Works — Expected Run Total

For Over/Under bets the model projects a total runs scored using a similar framework:

StepCalculation
Base2 × 4.5 league-average runs/game = 9.0
SP factorAverage of (home xFIP / 4.20) and (away xFIP / 4.20). Uses xFIP for consistency with the win-probability model — ERA includes luck and inflates totals for pitchers who got unlucky.
Offense factorAverage of (home wRC+ / 100) and (away wRC+ / 100).
Raw total9.0 × (0.60 × SP factor + 0.40 × off_factor)
Park adjustmentRaw total × venue run factor (e.g. Coors 1.32, Oracle Park 0.92). Blended at 60% weight: 0.40 × raw + 0.60 × park_adjusted

Weather adjustments layer on top: headwind (N/NW/NE) × 0.93 on run total • tailwind (S/SW/SE) × 1.08 • cold (≤45°F) × 0.96

What IS Integrated

FactorStatus
Savant pitcher quality (xwOBA, xERA)Integrated. SP quality in NRFI blends xFIP (60%) + xwOBA allowed (40%) when Savant data available.
Savant whiff% / put-away%Integrated for K props. Primary projection driver when available (65% weight).
Opp pitcher contact quality for batter propsIntegrated. Opposing pitcher xwOBA allowed adjusts batter projections (±up to 15%).
Lineup order / day-of lineupIntegrated for batter props (confirmed lineup spot + projected PA). Game-level model uses full-team season wRC+.

What IS Integrated (continued)

FactorStatus
Bullpen fatigueIntegrated (Session 16). Relief appearances over past 3 days tracked per team; tired pen (>2.7 RP/game avg) raises expected total via BULLPEN_WEIGHT (15%). Surfaced in Game Script check.
Rest daysIntegrated (Session 16). Back-to-back teams receive a −1.5% win-probability penalty; well-rested teams receive a +1.0% bonus. Applied to full-game and F5 models.
Umpire K-rateIntegrated (Session 15). Static table of ~70 umpires with historical K/9 values. Wide-zone umps adjust K prop projections and NRFI scores up; tight-zone umps adjust down. Dampened ±12% cap.
Handedness / platoon splitsIntegrated (Sessions 3 & 15). Opposing lineup wRC+ vs. SP hand sourced from MLB splits API. Platoon mismatch adjusts win probability ±2% per side (capped ±4% total). Surfaced in Matchup check.
Projection blend (regression to mean)Integrated (Session 17). Stats regressed toward league average early in season: blend_w = IP ÷ 80 for pitchers, games ÷ 81 for teams. Prevents 5-IP ERA outliers from driving model in April.

What the Model Does NOT Include (yet)

FactorStatus
Batter vs. pitch-type matchupIntegrated. Savant team-vs-pitch-type xwOBA adjusts K prop projections and NRFI/YRFI scores when SP's primary pitch type is known. Opponent teams that struggle vs the SP's top pitch raise K over projections and NRFI scores.
Individual batter vs. pitcher H2HPlanned for a future phase.
Pre-season projection prior (Steamer/ZiPS)Not integrated — projection endpoints not available. Regression-to-mean (blending toward league avg by IP) used as a practical substitute.
